Stop UWO's gym from charging for group fitness classes

As of Fall 2017, UWO has started charging students for all group fitness classes. The Rec Centre (Western University’s gym) made no announcement of these changes. As students, we want to make a difference. Considering students already pay close to $500 in ancillary fees each year, which includes a gym membership, we feel that we should not have to pay for group fitness classes. Exercising is a great way to de-stress and it's very beneficial for the mental and physical wellbeing of students. By charging for classes, it has now become more difficult for students to get their daily dose of exercise. Please sign our petition to make a change!
